“Yes, my falling for you is all part of my master plan to get to see Bucky Barnes blush,” she said. Yelena was well aware that she just admitted to falling for him but now that this had started she just wanted to get it all out there so they could figure out where they stood. Sitting opposite of him she poured herself a shot of the booze and downed it.
“I like you. I think I like you more than anyone except my family,” she said, just going for it. She was not good at being vulnerable. For bit the first time she wished that Nat was still around. Nat would know what to say, know how to guide her through this conversation or at the very least she would have encouraged Yelena. But she was mostly in her own for this so she had to do this her own way. “When I am doing things and you are not around I wish you were there doing them with me. Or you are the first person I want to tell about them. When I sit on my couch and watch TV I wish you were there with me. When I think ‘oh life sucks’ I think ‘oh no it doesn’t because there is Bucky Barnes in life and he is wonderful’. And when I think about all of it I think that I want to be your girl.”
Yelena took another shot, mostly to avoid having to look at Bucky after saying all that. She wasn’t sure how he was going to respond. Ideally he would say he’d like the same thing, which she had totally researched the correct phrase of “being his girl” on the internet so she could even use that. If that wasn’t evidence to herself how hard she had fallen she didn’t know what was.
